Built with **Qt 5.10.1**, it offers a customizable environment to explore and analyze different automaton behaviors.\n\n---\n\n## Features\n\n- **Multiple Automata Support**: Implement and test various cellular automata, including classic models like Conway's Game of Life and custom-defined rules.\n- **Interactive Grid Editor**: Design initial states using an intuitive grid interface, allowing precise configuration of cell patterns.\n- **Simulation Control**: Run simulations step-by-step or continuously, with adjustable speed settings to observe automaton evolution.\n- **Customizable Parameters**: Modify rules, grid sizes, and simulation parameters to experiment with different automaton dynamics.\n- **Save and Load Configurations**: Preserve automata configurations and states for future analysis or sharing.\n\n---\n\n## Repository Structure\n\n- `forms/`: Contains Qt Designer `.ui` files defining the graphical user interface components.\n- `headers/`: Header files (`.h`) declaring classes, functions, and data structures used in the application.\n- `sources/`: Source files (`.cpp`) implementing the core functionality and logic of the application.\n- `AutoCell.pro`: Qt project file used to manage project settings and build configurations.\n- `main.cpp`: Entry point of the application, initializing and launching the main interface.\n- `README.md`: This documentation file providing an overview of the project.\n\n---\n\n## Getting Started\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n- **Qt 5.10.1**: Ensure you have Qt 5.10.1 installed. You can download it from the [Qt official website](https://www.qt.io/download).\n- **C++ Compiler**: A C++17 compatible compiler is required.\n\n### Building the Application\n\n1. **Clone the Repository**:\n\n   ```bash\n   git clone https://github.com/LorysHamadache/autocell-desktopapp.git\n   cd autocell-desktopapp\n   ```\n\n2. **Open the Project in Qt Creator**:\n\n   - Launch Qt Creator.\n   - Open the `AutoCell.pro` file located in the cloned repository.\n\n3. **Configure the Project**:\n\n   - Set up the appropriate kit matching your development environment.\n   - Configure build settings as needed.\n\n4. **Build and Run**:\n\n   - Click the build button to compile the project.\n   - Run the application directly from Qt Creator.\n\n---\n\n## Usage\n\n- **Designing Automata**: Use the interactive grid to set initial cell states.\n- **Configuring Rules**: Access the settings panel to define or modify automaton rules.\n- **Running Simulations**: Start, pause, or step through simulations using the control buttons.\n- **Saving/Loading**: Utilize the file menu to save current configurations or load existing ones.\n\n---\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions to enhance AutoCell are welcome. Please fork the repository and submit a pull request with your proposed changes.\n\n---\n\n## License\n\nThis project is licensed under the MIT License. See the `LICENSE` file for more details.\n\n---\n\n## Contact\n\nFor questions or suggestions, please open an issue in the repository or contact the maintainer at [LorysHamadache](https://github.com/LorysHamadache).\n\n---\n\n*Note: This project is provided \"as-is\" without warranty of any kind.
